    Parkinsons disease, a central nervous system degenerative disorder developed for a long time which affects mainly the motor system. Symptoms usually come slowly with the early ones being difficulty with walking, slowness of movement, rigidity, and shaking. Problems in thinking and behavior may happen such as dementia, depression and anxiety being common in advance stages.

    This disease has no known exact cause though factors in environment and genetics are believed to have involvement with their development. They have not found a cure for this though there are initial treatment available with their effectiveness becoming less after a while. A sample treatment is the Parkinsons disease exercise which improves stability, balance and peace of mind.

    Their benefits in improving symptoms include improvement of coordination, flexibility, balance, gait and grip when maintained. This can decrease complications and the risks of falls that can worsen conditions when not avoided. Exercises recommended for these are yoga, biking, tai chi and walking on treadmill which help its progression to slow down.

    Before you start these activities, remember your safety should be kept first through wearing comfortable shoes and clothing while giving you good support. Ensure that the safety gears you possess are correct for your activity like when cycling having elbow pads, bike helmet and knee pads. Good posture is vital for having good balance while correct alignment makes efficient and stable movement.

    Do these exercises when your medicines and medications are properly working and you have rested well. If a particular exercise would cause you pain, stop doing it as every movement should be done to prevent injury by controlling it. Recognize when you feel tired and if one day you overexerted yourself, have a break with your routine the next day to restore and heal your energy.

    Perform daily simple stretches and exercises for posture while you avoid to bounce yourself and follow various routine every day that incorporates balance and strength. Aim in doing aerobic activities like biking, walking and swimming three days in a week with twenty minutes each. Try exercise videos and home equipment if getting out will be difficult.

    Challenge yourself in keeping the intensity level which feels hard for you as this differs for each and every person. Studies have researched that getting the best results is achieved with greater intensity during long periods. Although begin first slowly with one activity for four days per week and slowly increase it as you become capable of doing more.

    Pick something that you like doing as exercising should not become something painfully sluggish and limited to gyms. Be realistic though with your expectations particularly when you barely do physical activities previously so begin with small bits first then slowly increase it. Doing this with friends and loved ones together have added benefits of support, fun and accountability.

    Be consistent by doing this longer continuously because programs which lasts for months would give more benefits compared to those that lasts for some weeks. Being safe is important to avoid injuries which might aggravate your disease. Remember to wear proper gear, warm up, stretch, stop when you feel pain and cool down.
